Full Creative Freedom
Bespoke Customisation Solutions for Overseas Apparel Buyers
At Hawthorn International, we empower emerging apparel labels, online retailers, and corporate buyers with full-scale custom garment finishing. Unlike traditional clothing suppliers who rely on off-the-shelf blanks, we manufacture every garment from raw fabric rolls and yarn to your exact technical specifications.
Our UK-managed production model ensures that small-to-medium apparel brands access the same level of industrial customisation, precision hardware, and custom fabric treatments as global luxury houses — all maintained with a accessible minimum order quantity (MOQ) starting from 50 pieces per design.
Production Capabilities
High-Precision Garment Branding & Finishing
01 / Branding
Custom Patches & Appliqués
Custom patches deliver a tactile, elevated alternative to standard direct-to-garment embroidery. Engineered to showcase intricate brand logos, typography, or emblem artwork, our custom patches can be embroidered, woven, leather-embossed, or crafted in rubberised 3D PVC.
- Cost-effective branding for outerwear, hoodies, caps, and denim
- Heat-sealed, merrowed-edge, or sew-on attachment techniques
- Low minimum order quantities tailored for small capsule drops
02 / Stitching
High-Density Embroidery & Digitisation
Our embroidery process utilises high-precision automated multi-head machinery combined with expert thread digitisation. We convert your high-resolution artwork into precise stitch files to ensure clean vector borders, uniform fill density, and zero puckering on light or heavy knit fabrics.
- Flat, 3D puff embroidery, and metallic thread options available
- Rigorous digitized artwork testing before full-line production
- Durable stitch count engineered to withstand heavy industrial washing
03 / Tailoring
Fit Engineering & Pattern Development
A master pattern determines the garment drape, silhouette, and size consistency across grading sets. Our experienced pattern masters convert your tech pack sketches or sample garments into precise paper templates, cutting master panels before assembly.
- Custom fit replication from reference garments or tech packs
- Precision size grading tailored for Western, European, or global fits
- 3D digital prototyping available to trial proportions prior to sampling
04 / Trims
Bespoke Hardware & Metallic Accents
Custom metal hardware transforms a standard casual design into a premium retail-ready product. From laser-engraved buttons and heavy-gauge die-cast metal zippers to custom rivets, drawcord aglets, and enamel badging, we offer bespoke hardware options at competitive production scales.
- Finishes include polished, matte black, brushed antique silver, and gold
- Laser engraving, debossing, and custom shape die-casting
- Corrosion-resistant plating tested to international AQL standards
05 / Dyeing
Pantone Color Matching & Raw Dyeing
Maintaining brand identity across multiple garment lines requires strict color consistency. We source raw, unbleached fabric yarns and perform custom vat dyeing based on the standardized Pantone Matching System (PMS) to ensure accurate color density across bulk production runs.
- Lab-dip shade swatches submitted for client sign-off prior to bulk dye runs
- Reactive dyeing techniques for optimal wash fastness and anti-fading
- Custom dyeing for jersey, fleece, french terry, woven cotton, and synthetic blends
06 / Textiles
Custom Fabric Development & Sourcing
The foundation of every high-grade garment is its textile composition. We partner directly with certified spinning mills to knit or weave custom fabrics engineered for specific fabric weights (GSM), handfeel, stretch recovery, and structural durability.
- Organic cotton, bamboo, modal, recycled polyester, and technical elastane blends
- Bespoke knit constructions including heavy fleece, waffle, ribbing, and interlock
- Rigorous raw fabric testing for shrinkage control and pilling resistance
